Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disquieted me, to bring me up?

But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for with what should this [ergänzt: fellow] reconcile himself to his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men?

וַיִּקְצְפ֨וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Achish called David, and said to him, As Yahweh lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords don't favor you.
